Grand Arch Vampyr
The current and only known Grand Arch Vampyr is Garrick Thornwood. Although he was considered to be in equal partnership for this position with his late wife Serafina Thornwood who met her unexpected demise during the Blood Wrath Moon in 2004. He is thought to be over 2000 years old, maybe even far older than that. So he and Serafina are thought to be the parents of the Vampyr race. Legend has it that he is actually the estranged son of the Creator, who was left to suffer an 'immortal' existence and fend for himself in the material world after he fell from grace. He is also the patriarch of The Thornwood Dynasty. Meeting all these conditions means that no-one questions his position as Grand Arch Vampyr, and therefore bestows him with great power and influence.

Dismissal/removal from this position would only happen if he killed another pure-blood or true-blood vampyr, those he is sworn to protect. Although, he may step down since the death of his wife and allow his son Ed, to take over. This would have a huge impact on all of Vyrvania.

It's hard to get much more important than this. I can only imagine what would happen if he stepped down. Even if Ed was ready for it, it might throw the world into chaos!
